    Default Fitting 10" Tire

    Trying to fit a prostar 15x10 on a 82 stang. Looks like it hits right where the rear spring goes. Not sure I can "modify it any more. Any ideas? I'll post some pics tomorrow.

    my 15x11.5 ets fit good.. had to roll the lips and beat in a lil area in the back but thats it.


    I think where most of you have your problems with all of this, is the fact that you really don't fully understand the internal workings and dynamics of the common combustion engine. There is no magic tune up, and motors are stupid. The only time a motor will complain is when something is wrong.

    Doesn't look like I can beat the area back any more. Btw it has 28x10's ET Drags on it.

    Whats your back space? Some guys I know run a small spacer(not sure on size) on the 6.5" backspace rim.

    They'll fit. I was running Bogarts with 6.25 bs and had to beat just a little. One side needed a small spacer. Now the rear is narrowed 1.5" per side with some Alumastars and a 6" bs...that needed a lot of beating, but now there nice and tucked

    yeah they will fit, also when the car is at ride height it helps too. if the rear is just hanging there it will rub bad... but a big hammer and some sweat you will get it... and the spacer will get the rest of it, but its best to try and get it without a spacer...

    Here's what it looks like. Was trying to avoid using a spacer if possible.
